[QUOTE="Oogar, post: 509408, member: 541"] You have laid some needed platform down. You have an approved game club. You have a place where you can play and meet others who like playing games. You have a club where you can bring new people into the fold. Simply stated, play your Scrabble and Monopoly, but INVITE the people that you like to join you in weekend gaming. This is a chance to draw the best you can find into a hobby you love. AND, at the same time... Follow up on some suggestions here. Gather your information, Make other contacts among the teachers (find any who have played in the past, and might be willing to support a positive point of view about the game). Also, see if she would be willing to allow other RPGs. After a few months or even the rest of this year (I fought for things at my college that only became active after I left, no one remembers me for it, but I feel good about helping those future students), take steps to see if she might reconsider allowing an existing club, in good standing, to add this game into the list of approved activities. If you were to do it again... My high school days had a Science Fiction and Fantasy club, and we just gamed for the joy of it (RPGs were not in the charter). Heck, a friend and I would run dice-less story telling games just for the fun of it between classes. Hard to get in trouble if ya got no books or dice. Try to not list D&D if you can help it. "d20" or "Story Games" or "RPGs" can save you lots of trouble. If you want to be snotty, ask to join the Drama Club and start games as "Acting Exercises". [/QUOTE]
